137790
at Palmer, Alaska airshow to help raise funds for the Palmer
Air and
Transportation Museum. That's yours truly in the rear cockpit.
We are also looking
for data on the the T-28B's that live in Fairbanks. Not all are
flyable right now, but by next summer there will be 2, and the
summer after, there will be 3.
The Buno's are 138282 ( Which is disassembled and
being rebuilt to fly two summers from now ), 138444 ( Which needs
but a little work to make her flyable ) and 137790 which is flying.
137790
seems
to have had an interesting career for a trainer, including some
" Black Work " for the Air Force. This period in her
life is still classified as ' TOP SECRET ' for what ever odd
reason that may be and the Air Force to now has been some what
reluctant to release any information. What also seems strange
about this period is that she MAY have served in her Navy TRACOM
color scheme as there appears to be no indication of any ' camo
', or any other ' combat ' color scheme, under her present TRACOM
paint that she retired in. During one period she was attached
to Headquarters, Marines at Andrews A.F.B. and that is a color
scheme we're particularly interested in finding.
We would like to hear from anyone who has photo's of these planes,
flew in, or twisted wrenches on them.
